Explore Pain Management Fellowship

Why pain management?

You can help patients overcome pain to live comfortable, active and fulfilling lives.

Our fellowship emphasizes patient safety and encourages a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to pain management. Fellows gain expertise in many areas of pain medicine including interventional pain management, chronic and acute pain management and end-of-life care. They treat adult and pediatric patients and work closely with faculty as they study innovative treatments for pain.
